Chromaze is an endless, tile‑flipping chase built for players who love clean mechanics and brutal difficulty. Guide a luminescent sphere across a square maze. Flip every tile to clear each phase, then survive as the game evolves with new rules, faster pacing, and smarter spoiler agents that react to your decisions. Every run is a test of precision, rhythm, and nerves. Can you master the maze before it masters you?
